My wife is weirder than the last

Chapter 203 Chapter 360-362 belongs to Li Nianxiang's little pride

After walking for a while and arriving deep in the hinterland here, the festive atmosphere suddenly came out.

Yu Gan stopped and looked towards the river.This section is the widest part of this tributary, and there are countless large and small painting boats floating on it at the moment.

These flower boats spread out and surrounded, and a huge wooden board floated out of thin air on the river in the middle, and the decoration on it was extremely elegant.The bottom is supported by formations, as stable as a rock.

This is the place where the ladies who are waiting for the oiran will perform their talents.

The flower boats around are roughly divided into three parts, one part is private, and generally belongs to the nature of charter boats. On this day, it is absolutely sky-high.

Part of it belongs to those brothels. Every brothel here will have such a flower boat, which is usually very large. Now it invites some elite frequent guests.

When it's time to choose the oiran, I will support my wife.

The so-called annual battles of the live broadcast platforms of later generations are like this, fighting for the financial resources of their respective guilds.

This kind of gameplay has not changed for thousands of years, at most it is just a change of shell.

The remaining part is also the most important component, and most of them are flower boats for gatherings, such as the flower boats made by Zhang Sitong and other literati gatherings.

For example, the flower boats made by Li Nianxiang and the other noble ladies.These flower boats are basically the most luxurious and magnificent ones.

After all, no matter what the age, power has always been stronger than wealth.

Looking at these painted boats, Yu Gan couldn't help but be deeply moved. This kind of antique way of expressing wealth has a great visual impact on him, a future man.

The ancients really had something in terms of taste.I never play with those upstart temperament things, all I play is this style.It not only shows wealth and power, but also does not feel a little vulgar.

The riverside is also lively, and there are some high-end restaurants, but this place is not as good as the riverside. It is the best place for those who can't afford a flower boat and want to watch the oiran election.

At this moment, restaurants large and small are full of guests, prosperous and lively.

There are many "ferries" along the river.

The people in charge of the crossing are all magicians of the eighth or ninth rank. They are responsible for driving low-level magic vessels and small boats to send guests to the flower boats they want to go. If the flower boats are too high, the boats can also be driven by cultivation Take a short flight.

Therefore, the low altitude above the river is extremely lively, and the flow of people comes and goes, like a fairy palace in a painting.

Yu Gan couldn't help feeling the extravagance here again. This is the simplest luxury life in Daqi. Compared with the outside, the extreme gap between rich and poor is obvious.

It is a different kind of deformed social form.

"Wen An, which ship are you on?" Yu Gan asked.

Li Nianxiang moved his eyes around, and finally pointed to the conspicuous three-story huge flower boat on the right.The lightly fluttering curtain on the top of the boat has the word Tianxiang written on it.

Then when she was about to beckon for a spirit ship, Yu Gan stopped him directly, and said with a smile, "I'm here, what is it called a spirit ship?"

After finishing speaking, Yu Gan grabbed Li Nianxiang's wrist, and then directly led her to fly, towards the conspicuous flower boat.

In an instant, they landed on the top deck with Li Nianxiang.

Before Li Nianxiang could react, she realized that she had already stepped on the deck. The water flow here was extremely stable, and the tonnage of the ship was sufficient, so there was no turbulence at all.

A lot of people have gathered on the deck to enjoy the river breeze, all of them are women, some are ladies and some are already married.

They are gorgeously dressed and covered with wreaths, and they are all well-maintained.At first glance, they are all rich girls.

When Yu Gan brought Li Nianxiang down from the sky, these women stopped communicating, and then looked at them in astonishment.

Fortunately, Li Nianxiang reacted quickly, and as soon as he regained consciousness, he immediately smiled at the crowd, "I disturbed everyone."

After speaking, she pointed at Yu Gan openly and said, "Everyone must know him, he is my husband Yu Gan."

Yu Gan didn't change his clothes, he was still wearing the Dali Temple clothes, standing there tall and straight at this moment, it was the best scenery for these women in front of him.

Many people couldn't help but secretly glanced at this son-in-law, especially the news that this son-in-law is a great talent recently spread in the literati circle of Tai'an City, which made them even more curious.

At this time, the title of wit was still very attractive.Just like hundreds of years ago, although poetry was in decline at that time, it was not as withered as it is now.

At that time, there was a Layman Liu who was good at writing poems in Tai'an, although he was poor.

But she forced herself to sleep in all the brothels here, the kind that didn't require money.

The girls who are on the pole let Layman Liu come, and when they come, their wealth will double. If there are one or two lines of poetry, it will be even better.

At that time, all the brothels in Tai'an City were vying for Layman Liu to come, and this honor is still talked about by all the talents.

It is simply the highest state of being a literati.

Now that poetry is in decline, and Yu Gan has faintly spread the reputation of being good at poetry, how can this be achieved.

That is to say, he has the identity of a son-in-law on his back, otherwise he would have been eaten alive by those fanatical women on the way here just now.

Looking at the flickering eyes of this group of Yingying and Yanyan women, Yu Gan just kept a warm smile and didn't intend to talk to them.

He just bowed to them lightly and nodded, then tapped the deck lightly, and Shi Shiran flew away.

As soon as Yu Gan's front feet flew, those women immediately surrounded Li Nianxiang, and they began to question each other.

Li Nianxiang, who was in the center of the crowd, had a very friendly attitude. After all, the people present were all respectable people. Even if she was the eldest princess, she couldn't offend these people because of her attitude.

Someone asked, "Wen An, when you were married before, I only saw your husband from a distance, but seeing him so closely now, he is really handsome."

"It's okay." Li Nianxiang lifted his chin a little, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Another person asked, "My elder brother is also from Dali Temple. I heard that the son-in-law is now valued in Dali Temple. He said that he is a genius who meets once in hundreds of years. Now he is taught by Siqing Chu himself."

"Well, it seems to be like this. I don't bother with my husband's work matters." Li Nianxiang's chin was raised two points, and the corners of his mouth stretched into a smile.

"Presumably you have all heard the words of the son-in-law. Now many people agree with them. My husband's friends all say that because of this sentence, they must stand up as a literati from now on."

Many people agreed in unison, "That's right, that's right. Those scholars in Tai'an City are talking about this now."

"Wen An, your husband is really powerful, both civil and military."

"The two of you, husband and wife, are so right, it's enviable to look at."

"That's right, the son-in-law personally sent you here just now. I have never seen a husband who treats his wife so well."

These women chattered endlessly.

Li Nianxiang's chin raised even more, without any intention of stopping it.Just a few words of humility from time to time.

In the past, she was not uncommonly complimented like this. At that time, she would always interrupt these hypocritical polite words appropriately.

But when all this fell on Yu Gan now, Li Nianxiang didn't have this idea at all, she wished that these "girlfriends" would talk more.

Because at this time, her heart was filled with that sense of pride.

I am envied by others because my husband is powerful. This feeling is completely different from the blessing brought by the previous eldest princess status.

As the wife of such an excellent man with both civil and military skills, she has received many, many envy and praises. The spiritual joy brought by this kind of positive honor cannot be compared with many emotions.

On the other side, Yu Gan flew to the opposite side after leaving Li Nianxiang's boat.

The painting boat for the Mid-Autumn Festival is four stories high, and it can be said to be unique and conspicuous.

Yu Gan didn't fly directly to the top floor presumptuously, but went to the entrance of the deck on the first floor and signed up honestly.

He was on the invitation list, and the servants waiting at the entrance let him go directly.

The ship is huge and has a unique structure. The stairs are in the middle and go up in the form of a spiral staircase.

There are no specific floors on the first three floors here, and each floor is a circular corridor with a large circular area in the middle.Only the fourth floor has floors.

There were not many people standing on the circular corridor, and scattered people were chatting there.Everyone else is on the fourth floor.I saw it just now when Yu Ganfei flew over.

There is no roof, except for the fence on the fourth floor is the deck, which is filled with long tables and chairs, the area is large enough, and it is full of people.

Yu Gan didn't stay below too long, and went directly to the fourth floor along the spiral staircase.

As soon as he came up, Yu Gan felt that he was overwhelmed by the din of people's voices. Looking around, the huge deck was full of people.There is something for all ages.

There is only a vacuum in the middle, where Zhang Siping and Taian's literary leaders are located, a special long table.

In ancient times, except for a very few geniuses who became famous at a young age, most of the scholars had to rely on their age to make it up, and they also belonged to the kind that became more popular as they got older.

Therefore, Zhang Sitong and his gang of old gangsters were particularly conspicuous here, and the eyes of others looking over there were envious and respectful.

Although Yu Gan didn't know much about this group of people, but when he saw Wei Qinli, a great scholar of the dynasty, and this giant Buddha here, he knew that the level of today's literary society was really good.

According to the past, there should be quite a lot of courtiers with literary talents here, but looking at it today, there are not many here except for this great scholar.

It is estimated that they all accompanied the emperor to banquet the envoys from various countries at the Zhaixing Tower, and the timing was really unfortunate as the Queen Mother Li's birthday was approaching.

Yu Gan's coming up also attracted a lot of people's attention, for no other reason than his clothes.

The scholars who can come here have two brushes, and their family conditions are not bad, so all of them are well-dressed, or in white or blue long gowns, and they look like scholars.

Therefore, Yu Gan's Dali Temple's flying eagle suit is extremely eye-catching and prominent here.

It's like a gangster suddenly broke into a private school.

Yes, in the eyes of scholars, the warriors of Dali Temple can be directly equated with the bandits.

But in fact, many people don't know that the learning ability of the deacons of Dali Temple, like Yu Gan, who was admitted by himself, is not inferior to these scholars at all, and even far superior.

Because the very few places in Dali Temple that are open to the other party are snatched up by countless young people every time, all of them are hard-working students with their heads hanging on their heads.

It's just that what you learn is different from ordinary scholars.

Instead of studying traditional literature such as the Four Books and Five Classics, you should study law, national conditions, Dali Temple regulations and duties, etc., which can be described as very broad.

At that time, Yuanshen studied hard for many years in Han Chuang before he was successfully admitted to Dali Temple. If the sweat in this was spent on serious studies, it would not necessarily make a difference.

But many poor people dare not gamble, and the only fairness can only be seen in these external places in Dali Temple for their clean and clean family backgrounds.

In addition, once you enter Dali Temple, it will be a leap of class, which is far faster and more efficient than studying.

Therefore, if most children from poor families have a strong learning ability, they will usually go to Dali Temple instead of choosing the imperial examination.

Now that Daqi is a national condition, things like imperial examinations are only played by powerful people.There are not many people with mud legs.

Zhang Tingyu was able to read the prime minister of the dynasty in vain, which is one of the few existences in millions.

Of course, there are some special cases in Dali Temple, such as Bai Xingjian, who is still very famous in the circle of scholars in Tai'an.

Yu Gan could even think that if it was pushed back ten years, Bai Xingjian, who was unparalleled in style at that time, and also capable of both civil and military skills, must be a romantic figure.

Anyway, Yu Gan has heard many people say that this Bai Xingjian is still the object of many married women's secret thoughts.

Yu Gan is actually quite curious about the relationship history of his boss. He is still single in his 30s. It stands to reason that there were almost no such cases in ancient times.

I don't know the reason why Bai Xingjian has always remained single.

Bai Xingjian also came to this essay meeting, and was chatting with someone Yu Gan didn't know at the railing.

In short, Yu Gan came up wearing this outfit, which directly attracted the eyes of half of the literati, and those who didn't know thought there were prisoners here.

He didn't treat Yu Gan as a member of the circle.

Zhang Sitong, who was chatting with his friends, also saw Yu Gan, and hurriedly got up to meet him, with a bright smile on his face.

"Yu Xiaoyou, you've come, I thought you weren't coming."

"Zhang Xiang invited me so kindly, how dare I not come." Yu Gan clasped his fists and smiled.

"It's good if you come. Those friends of the old man have been looking forward to your little friend's coming. Let me introduce you." After speaking, Zhang Sitong grabbed Yu Gan's wrist and hurriedly walked towards the middle.

Now, most of the scholars around are not calm.

Zhang Sitong's weight in the hearts of scholars can only be described in one word, that is, benchmarking.

As the head of the four doctors of the Imperial College, Zhang Sitong's literary level is recognized and no one will question it. A scholar without half an inch of cultivation can read the righteousness of the sky, and ordinary ghosts can't get in at all. Such a scholar It is every student's dream.

But now, Zhang Sitong, whom everyone regards as an idol, seems to be in a state of leading his own idol at this moment. How can this not shock the onlookers!
Who is this person?

This is everyone's first thought.

One must know that Zhang Sitong never followed others, even a prince would not give him such great respect, but now a young man from Dali Temple can be valued so much.

It cannot be denied that the scholars present are not Miss Li.

Miss Li! !
The scene naturally became noisy with whispers.

"Who is this person?"

"do not know."

"Do you know anyone?"

"Could it be that he is Yu Gan, the head of the Yellow Division of Dali Temple that has been rumored recently?"

When the word Yu Gan was mentioned, everyone was startled for a moment, and then their voices became more enthusiastic.

"Is he Yu Gan?" asked a doubtful voice.

"So young! It's fake!" A shocked voice said.

"Which Yu Gan? Wait, that Yu Gan who An Neng bowed his eyebrows?" The same shocked voice.

"Look at the logo on his cuff, he is the director of Dali Temple. It must be him who can be valued so much by Dr. Zhang." A determined voice.

"Really, is there really such a person with both civil and military skills in the world?"

"This is even more prestigious than Bai Shaoqing back then. Why does Dali Temple produce such people with both civil and military skills?"

"What kind of family background is he? Is he the son of a big family?"

"Why are you talking so sourly?"

"Are you not sour?"

"A bit."

"I heard that it was ordinary people who made their voices."

"What, no, I don't believe that he really has such a high attainment in poetry. Would you gentlemen be willing to try his skills?"

"You go?"

"There are so many people studying hard in the cold window, but no one dares to go up? It's really embarrassing to be with you!"

"If you talk too much, it's up to you."

Naturally, Yu Gan would not be distracted by what these scholars said about him. This kind of thing that became the focus of the crowd after entering Dali Temple, Yu Gan has absolutely adapted to it.

It belongs to the tasteless.

Soon, Yu Gan was brought to these old gangsters, and Zhang Sitong said in a very clear voice, "This is the Yu Gan I have been telling you about."

Laobangcai is Laobangcai, and none of these scholars seemed aloof. After listening to Zhang Sitong's explanation, they all smiled kindly at Yu Gan.

Of course Yu Gan could understand that these people were purely looking at Zhang Sitong's face.

He is not a novice, and he knows that talent alone is useless, and it must be matched with a certain social status to become Wang Zha.

This is the situation of Yu Gan now, his current status is actually nothing among these people, and his status as Captain Consort without any real power is even more useless.

Although the performance project is in place, it is impossible for the real rich and powerful to attach great importance to the son-in-law in their hearts.

Coupled with poor family background and young people, it is even more impossible to integrate into their circle.

Yu Gan was like a bright mirror in his heart, but he still smiled and greeted them, "I have seen you all, and I am bothering you."

"Director Yu, long time no see. This old man only heard about your romantic name recently. I told this old man earlier, and I had a happy chat with you at that time." Wei Qinli on the side took the initiative to talk to Yu Gan, and stroked with a smile on his face. with his beard.

"Wei Gong was joking, what's your virtue?" Yu Gan smiled apologetically, then clasped his fists together and said, "The boy will go down first, and he will come back later to take the liberty of disturbing you.

I have to go to the oiran election first.After all, he was young and had never seen such a grand scene. "

Zhang Sitong was taken aback, and when he was about to ask to stay, his words got stuck in his throat when he saw these friends from the corner of his eye, and finally just nodded, "Okay, it's normal for young people to like to be lively, I'll call you later That's right."

Although he, Zhang Sitong, only read the books of sages and sages, he still had the way of life that he should have. He was agitated when he saw Yu Gan just now, and he lacked some specific considerations.

With Yu Gan's current erratic status, it's really inappropriate to suddenly pull over to meet these well-known people in the Tai'an literary world.

Besides, there were so many scholars watching around, so it would be bad for anyone to let Yu Gan sit at the same table with them rashly, especially for Yu Gan, it could be said that he would be roasted on the fire.

It is indeed inappropriate.

Thinking about this clearly, Zhang Sitong sighed slightly in his heart, how can our generation of scholars be truly free and unrestrained, perhaps this is also the biggest reason for the decline of poetry.

If you can't even keep the purity of your heart, how can you talk about these impassioned poems.

Looking at Yu Gan's smile, Zhang Sitong was even more moved by his youthful maturity and exquisite mind.

"I'll take my leave first." Yu Gan bowed again, then turned and left.

To be honest, Yu Gan's light entry and light exit this time made these old gangsters look at each other with admiration.Such young and decent young people are rare.

But they naturally wouldn't say anything, they just sighed in their minds and then put it aside to continue chatting about the romance in their own circle.

Leaving this square table, Yu Gan did not wander around aimlessly, but walked towards the fence on the left with a clear goal.

His elder brother Li Jian stood there smiling teasingly at him.

Among the emperor's princes, there are two who are quite happy to have fun. One is the acting king Li Jian.

One is Jing Wang Li Qin, but he mostly holds various literati gatherings, and he doesn't seem to be very interested in things like having fun.

Yu Gan has never complained about this. His Royal Highness King Jing, who looks exactly like his mother Concubine Xue Gui, looks like a little shou.

He also came today, standing on the opposite side of Li Jian, not looking at him at the moment.

"I've seen Dai Wang." Yu Gan walked to the side of the other party, bowed and smiled.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Li Jian made a gesture of displeasure, "One family doesn't talk about two families, so you think you are a great talent?"

Yu Gan shook his head directly and said, "I'm not a wit. I'm not interested in the title of wit. I might be happier if His Highness calls me a macho."

As he said that, Yu Gan glanced around, "Your Highness will come by himself today."

"There are a few friends." Li Jian smiled, "But you also know that there are not many princes who can be invited to Dr. Zhang's literary club.

I came here because I have been on such occasions for a long time. If other brothers and uncles come here, they will pack a flower boat by themselves, and they will not come here. It does not match the image. "

"I understand, the character design is right." Yu Gan said with a smile.

"Personal design?" Li Jian was puzzled for a moment, and then smiled heartily after thinking carefully, "Your word is very novel and interesting.

The word "setting" has always been used only for things, but it also has some meanings when it is attached to people.My character design is a little prince who eats, drinks and has fun, um, not bad. "

After Li Jian finished speaking, he pointed to Li Qin and said, "King Jing has forcibly set himself up as a romantic and talented person. If you ask me, he is not worthy to carry your shoes."

Facing Li Jian's wild words, Yu Gan could only smile helplessly.

Ever since he and Li Nianxiang got married, his brother-in-law had long since lost his burden in front of him.When it was just the two of us in private, many things were no longer taboo.

If such rebellious words reached King Renjing's ears, there would be a lot of panic.

However, it can also be seen that the grievances and grievances between Concubine Wei and Concubine Xue have been clearly passed down, causing Li Jian and Li Qin to be extremely at odds.

"I've also heard about what happened last time." Li Jian narrowed his eyes and continued, "His Royal Highness King Jing invited you and Wen An to some cultural meeting.

This matter is that we have troubled you. "

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Wen An and I are husband and wife, so why talk about getting involved in such a thing." Yu Gan said with a straight face.

"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this." Li Jian laughed heartily again, and patted Yu Gan's shoulder lightly, "But your words are very relieved.

I heard that during this period of time, His Royal Highness King Jing was about to smash his palace into pieces.

Just because of your words, he became the powerful person in the center of the vortex, and the words behind it can be imagined.

The emperor also knew about this, and laughed and scolded King Jing for his blindness.

Now I really understand the saying that you scholars can kill with your lips, the power of a small line of poetry is so fierce.The character set that King Jing had built for more than ten years was abruptly torn to pieces.

For that alone, I have great admiration for you. "

Listening to Li Jian's teasing and flexible use of the word "personality", Yu Gan was speechless again. He didn't know that his gentle uncle had such a vicious side.

"Your Highness, be careful, there are so many people here after all, it's not good to be overheard by interested people." Yu Gan reminded in a low voice.

Li Jian nodded lightly, and continued, "However, King Jing will definitely hold grudges against you for this matter, so you should pay more attention. If you have any troubles, just talk to me, we are all a family, please don't worry about it." Don't be shy or polite."

"Okay." Yu Gan smiled and nodded.

At this time, Li Jian suddenly lowered his voice and looked at Yu Gandao, "I heard that you have been staying at Zhu Chen's station for the past few days, what's going on?"

Yu Gan directly stated the causal relationship briefly.

Only then did Li Jian ease his expression, and said, "You still have to pay attention to this matter, after all, the prince of Nanyang has a special status, among other things, none of the civil and military officials in Tai'an City would dare to contact him in private.

Because you are accompanying this prince now, many people in the court will definitely stare at you.

Also, when I heard that Zhu Chen came, Prime Minister Zhang went there in person, didn't he? "

"Yes." Yu Gan nodded.

Li Jian sighed with emotion, "I heard from my mother and concubine that Zhang Xiang was called to the imperial study by his father after he retired the next day, and he stayed there for half an hour.

You must understand the importance of this.Just do your job well, and don't get too involved with this Zhu Chen, otherwise you will be very passive. "

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness, I will." Yu Gan smiled and nodded.

He is naturally very clear about what this incident has brought about, so when he was with Zhu Chen these few days, Yu Gan basically kept an appropriate distance, and he was quite good at controlling the distance.

Only do the things that belong to the identity of Dali Temple, and don't care about the others.

"I don't need to say much, I'm very relieved because of your quickness." Li Jian smiled lightly and skipped this topic directly.

"Your Highness, when will the oiran election start?" Yu Gan asked, pointing to the big stage floating on the river ahead.

"I guess it will take time." Li Jian looked up at the sky and said, "When the moon is at its fullest, the election of the oiran will begin."

After explaining, Li Jian lightly touched Yu Gan's arm, teasingly said, "Why, which little lady who is going to choose the oiran do you like?"

"I have one heart and one mind for Wen'an." Yu Gan straightened up and said firmly, "I'm just curious, after all, I haven't seen it before, pure curiosity, nothing else."

"Okay, just the two of us, don't pretend." Li Jian waved his hands directly, "It's understandable for a man to come out to find some flirtatious things. If you really have some flirtatious things with the oiran, it's a good talk, Wen An won't say it. Anything like that will only be honored with you."

Yu Gan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his uncle with full suspicion.

Suddenly, Yu Gan felt that Li Jian was fishing.

He remembered how Concubine Wei Gui used to teach him the way of Zhou Gong, so she insisted on letting two skilled maids teach him. Fortunately, he was smart and saw through the fishing behavior.

Therefore, now Yu Gan has every reason to suspect that Li Jian is also questioning with this kind of psychology. Once he shows a happy look, he will fall into the pit.

The mother and son can add up to [-] hearts and minds.
